REV. H. W. THOMAS.
A Portrait and Sketch Of the Well
Known Chicago Divine.

Tho popular pastor Of the Peoples
Church, of Chicago, whose portrait accom-
panies this sketch, was born April 90, 1882,
in the Allegheny Mountains, in Hampshire
County, Virginia (now West virginia). His
parents were farmers in modest circum-
stances. His father was of German and
Welsh descent, and his mother of Scotch
and English. The family was large, Hiram
being the fourth son.
DR.. Thomas grew up in an atmosphere
OF freedom, which has influenced his whole
life. Born and reared in the mountains,
like the Swiss and Scotch Highfanders, he
has naturally inherited a bold and free
spirit. His father was Of Quaker proeliyi.

or solids 1915, against 1925 per cent. Of

water. 49, ~ -
The total solids may be increased by
special feeding, but not in the proportion
ofsany one ingredient. Fatty matter given
lated in the body.it thus indirectly leads
to improvement: in the general quality of
the milk. Albuminoids in the food are
directly converted into butter-fats as we'll
us albumi1loids in milk. Hence it was
found that oil-cakes were not the best
food, but that beam meal and decorticated
cotton-cake were among the superior con-
centrated foods for COWS. Washy sloppy
food increases the water and hence re-
duces the solids. Exercise tends to the
using up of heterogeneous matter, and in
cows it is secreted as caseine, while rest
tends to the conservation of fats. Hence,
when cheese is the object, the COWS should
have exercise, but for the production of
cows are kept continually tied up. Varia-
ton in the relative ingredients are duo to
breeds and their peculiarly, but the various
ingredients are perfectly defined and sepa-
rate from one another, and kept to pretty
nearly the same relative proportions.
The lecturer called attention to the
peculiarities of milk as between that of
Jerseys and Ayrshires, the former contain
ing 10 or more per cent. of butter, with
large corpuscles, the latter with smaller
corpuscles, but rich in caseine, containing
as much as of butter, giving in the average
$50 of each. Large butter corpuscles re-
quire large gland cells to form them, and
these are the result of development. The
total solids depend most on food. treat
ment, etc., and variation of ingredients
most on breed. There is no reason to sup
pose that any breed has es yet reached its
structural limit" and improvement is to
be sought in selection and using butter
and milk tests as guide.

THE DAIRY.
Sell Batter Promptly.

The first market for butter is invariably
the best. The chances for rise, however
good, will be Of no avail to the holder of
old stock. Time was when housewives
packed June butter so that it would keep q
year, but the art seems to have been lost,
MS it is certain that all popular faith in it
is. The new-fashioned creamery butter
cannot be kept long, however we'll made.
Some farmers wives, however, who make
butter from the cream as skinned from
sour milk, are in the habit of packing grass
butter for home use, and with good man
agement they can keep it better than that
fresh made in winter.

For CAapprd Hands.

An excellent glycerine ointment for
chapped hands. says the Cook, is made by
melting, with gentle heat, two ounces of
sweet oil of almonds, half an ounce of
spermaceti and one dram of white wax.
When melted, remove from the stove and
add an ounce of glycerine, and stir until
the mixture is cold. The oinlnent can be
scented with any perfume to suit the fancy.
Keep it in wide necked bottles.

Ordained q Priest

The ordination of Edward p. Chitten-
den was an event of unusual interest at
Gethsemane church yesterday morning.
The services were conducted by Bishop
Gilbert. Rev. n. r. Graves, rector of
GethSemane, introduced the candidate
for ordination, who, as a deacon, has
been the assistant rector of Gethsemane
for several months past. The morning
prayers were read by Rev. A. b. Stowe,
of Anoka, and Rev. j. w. Prosser, of ST.
Andrews church. The ordination SER
mon was masterful discourse upon the
responsibilities and duties of the priest
hood. Rev: Mr.. Chittenden was Con-
gregationalist unit. about eighteen
months ago, when he entered the Epis-
copal church. He will remain for the
present at Gethsemane, going to To-
peka, Kan, in July, to enter the Cathe-
dral under Bishop Thomas.
